Happy New Year! We selected Ten of Chanticleer’s Most Popular Writing Craft Articles Posted in 2021 – Writer’s Toolbox Series

Top Ten Countdown of Writer’s Toolbox Editing Posts for 2021

These are not in order or ranking — just Chanticleer’s Top Ten Writing Craft Posts for 2021.

Below are the first five with five more on New Year’s Day along with Kiffer’s Best Tip for Writers in 2022!

It is our hope that these refreshers will help you with meeting your 2022 Writing Goals!

10) Secondary Characters. Supporting Cast – Taking Risks with Your Secondary Characters

Secondary Characters. They can drive their co-stars crazy and they can also drive the plot. They can star in their own subplots and often support the protagonist’s goals. Or thwart the protagonist’s goals.

Benny, the unforgettable secondary character in “The Queen’s Gambit” by Walter Tevis

9. The Eyes Have It

Using characters’ eyes to reveal emotion and meaning. If you’re serious about writing, you must notice subtext and how to convey it. And that often begins with the eyes.

Beth Harmon knows she will win several moves out in this scene of Queen’s Gambit

8. Understanding Story Structure

A look at more advanced ways of considering writing from some of the best craft books to come out in the last decade. Consider the narrator in your story, structure, proportion, and, most importantly, the heart of your work.

7. Amplify, Magnify, & Stir Up Trouble for Your Main Characters

How-To tips and examples for adding fuel your characters’ fires. Your character should always have a lot to prove and master, so he or she can get off on the wrong foot and things can go downhill from there. Naturally.

Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy protagonist, the last known Earthling – Arthur Dent

6. Search and Destroy, Cull and Extract, and Other Editorial Tactics for Your Work in Progress

Learn how to edit ruthlessly with these top tips with handy links! Make sure you get the most out of your next round of editing for your work-in-progress.

The Editor – going over the ms with an MOV.

We hope that you have found these encore posts to be useful reminders and prompts for your work-in-progress!

We wish you joy and peace in the New Year from all of us at Chanticleer!
